Big Brother UK: Series 1

Big Brother UK: Series 1 is the first series of Big Brother UK. It began on 10th January 2018 and finished on 20th January 2018, lasting 20 glorious but hellish days.

Casting
Auditions were held in Glasgow, Scotland. The official housemates that auditioned in Glasgow were Pizza and Cyber. They were also held in Southampton. The official housemates that auditioned in Southampton were Eva, Margaret, Nahan and Katie. The final round of auditions were held in Coventry, where Joanne, Nathan, Edward, Ryan and Robyn!

Controversy
On Day 2, Katie attacked Edward by hitting her over the head with a frying pan. This raised suspicions that Katie had problems and needed to be ejected, and fast. 8 complaints were received. Katie was not ejected after it was revealed Edward teased her before the attack. Nothing else controversial happened since.

Eye Design
The eye fit perfectly for the theme. The blue background represents robots and their building, which could endanger people, and the black stripes are in the colour of the hazard signs! It wasn't used as the official logo. The official logo was a cartoon house with Big Brother UK 1 next to it.

House Design
The arena was very different to other seasons of Big Brother. Instead of having white walls, they were black and there was the eye and hazard warnings everywhere. Side 1 of the stairs were green, whilst side 2 was yellow. Pictures of hazards were on the walls. At the bottom of the stairs, there was a toxic canister that was tipped over and yellow poison trickled out of it. The bedroom was green. The diary room had a superhero kind chair with poison all over it. The kitchen had yellow and green tiles, and yellow and green cupboards. The living room didn't have 2 circular sofas, it had 2 normal sofas, both having chaise longues. The garden had a treehouse. The bathroom had skeletons in and had an eerie look. The snug was very toxic, and was very dangerous to anyone. The isolation room had a bunk-bed frame with mattresses on the floor. Pizza was the only housemate sent there.

Robyn And Margaret's Departures
On Day 9, the day of the first of 3 evictions, Katie and Ryan were saved from eviction, leaving Margaret and Cyber to go. The eviction was a tie. Margaret volunteered to be evicted, but other housemates voted. All but two voted Cyber to go, so he was evicted, which enraged Margaret. She later walked. On day 14, Robyn walked for no reason.

Finale
On 20th January 2018, Joanne was crowned winner. Nathan, Edward, Katie and Eva lost out to her. This season had 5th finalists due to the departures of Margaret and Robyn.
